COGIC Charities, the benevolent arm of the Church of God in Christ, is providing ready-made infant formula and water to Flint, Michigan residents.

For the next couple of months, or until supplies are depleted, several COGIC churches in Flint will serve as distribution centers providing much needed water and baby formula to thousands of Flint residents.

COGIC Presiding Bishop Charles E. Blake, Sr. says, "There are more than 60 Church of God in Christ congregations in Flint, Michigan. When we heard about the crisis, we immediately began to mobilize and strategize how we as an organization could help our members and residents." He added, "The leadership of the Church of God in Christ cannot stand silent as the innocent children of Flint and their parents suffer the ravages of poisonous water. We stand with these parents, and with all the residents, to call for the speedy, permanent restoration of clean drinking water."
